If only they would not cover your "home team" that's playing on CBS or Fox. I'm one of those who records, then starts watching and skipping ahead about two hours in. Don't want to see or know the score ahead of time. Otherwise, I would love it.
I came here to complain about a premium channel being in SD.
Glad I read the thread.
So for other confused whiners.....
The free preview HD version is on channel 82!

Just a friendly reminder that the free preview ENDS at 4:15PM Eastern, so basically no late games if you don't sub. Just a heads up to save people some posting 
Had to do the same thing on my 722 after flipping channels lead to no channels showing up. Guess the way they have the preview setup made it go wonko.
Flipping back to the HD feed from the game on Fox, looks great, not sure if I will subscribe to the out of market sports package to get it!!
I was thinking off subscribing as I like it a lot, but I guess I'm a PQ and won't put up with another overcompressed channel from Dish. Comparing both my local games on CBS and FOX, the difference is pretty obvious. I haven't seen one game on RedZone I'd call good PQ.
I read that once that over the air HDTV has better PQ then cable and satellite HD.
They are, but if you are watching the free preview, the feed ended after the early games were over. You must purchase the multi-sports pack and have the appropriate base-package(classic silver 200 or higher)
So NFL RedZone is part of DISH Network's Multi-Sports Package, which is available to most customers at $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year. If I just get it for the 2 or 3 months I would actually use it would be a lot cheaper than $50/yr, what's the catch?
A $5 downgrade fee when you drop the MS package. Just because you have a choice doesn't mean there is something sinister going on...
I watched the whole thing. I wasn't impressed. It was hard to follow, but at least there were no commercials. PLus, I have Absolute and its going to take a lot more than Redzone to get me away from Absolute.
I guess it must be in the set-ups, cuz I've gone back and forth from OTA to Dish HD locals to compare more than once, and I honestly couldn't tell any difference. Watching college football on CBS saturday in HD, their cameras were garbage, but it was the same for OTA and Dish. Redzone looked great on my Samsung, but the Cowboys continually sucking lessens my interest

It's all about screen size and viewing distance. 10ft from my 32" for casual viewing no problem. 10ft from my 57", noticeable.
